Bullhook Clinic
Bullhook Health Center originated in September 2005 as a section of the Hill County Health Department, funded by a federal Healthy Communities Access Planning Grant. This grant allowed the Health Department’s Bullhook Clinic to offer medical and care management services to the community with a sliding fee scale. Patients were able to access coordinated and holistic care with other providers in the community. On July 1, 2007, a federal Community Health Center Grant was awarded to the board of directors for the new organization called the Bullhook Community Health Center, Inc.What’s Happening Now
The New Access Community Health Center Grant Award allowed the organization to become a free-standing, non profit entity, under the governance of a patient majority board of directors, while maintaining the same dedication to providing quality, comprehensive care without regard for age, race, religion, residency, or income.
